Honestly? I'm glad to see you go. You're a two faced mod that claims to respect freedom of speech and yet is extremely ban happy for anyone who disagrees with you.
edit and lets not forget banning people for even commenting in /r/conspiratard, because "freedom of speech" means "silencing dissenters" to you. It's ironic how Orwellian you are.
I'm sorry that you weren't allowed to run amok calling people retards because of your delusion that you are somehow better than these people. You arent better than anyone. I'm not better than anyone. We are all different and diversity breeds strength.
Diversity breeds strength, not because some genius in a lab somewhere can point at someone who is different and say "yep! That's the guy right there who is better, all the data points to yes". Diversity breeds strength because nobody has a fucking clue brother.
The sooner you realize that you too, have no fucking clue, the sooner you can evolve.
I'm glad, that you're glad, to see me go.

There you go, judging me before you even know me. That's exactly the problem, right there, you're perfectly prepared to believe that anyone who disagrees with you wants to turn this sub into a wasteland.
On a personal level? No. But that's not quite what I mean; I mean that, all I've said so far is that I disagree with your heavy-handed moderating methods, and you're perfectly ready to accept the invented notion that all I want is for this sub to fail.
Okay, that's worse than just twisting my words; that's flat out making up something and claiming I said it.
No, I don't want the sub to fail. To hammer in the point here, I disagree with your moderating methods. Very much. I hope that, without you dragging it down, the sub will become a place where civil discussion is actually possible, and people who disagree don't get swept under the rug and insulted.
My "Friends". Conspiratard is like, a majority anonymous pics from various places and a couple no-participation links to r/conspiracy. Honestly, the rivalry between them and you is unnecessarily overblown.
Mine does as well; but sadly no amount of money can protect the free flow of information quite like someone versed in the nefarious dealings of the PR firms behind reddit.
How do you think this community could be improved?
Pretty much all references to /r/conspiracy outside this sub are to mock or ridicule a user. Why do you think this is so? What could be done to improve the sub's image?
What conspiracies do you personally believe in?
What was the hardest part of being a mod here? Do you feel you were a good mod?
/r/conspiratard has certain opinions about you. What is your opinion of /r/conspiratard? Do you think they validly point out some of the ridiculousness of this sub?
Why not? It's not like the sub is immediately hostile (despite the "tard" in the name). Hell, they rarely even directly link here, it's usually just an image.
Sometimes the things they say are pretty horrific. I am not saying that they are any better or worse than any other sub, just that they seem to be pretty confrontational and quick to label someone an idiot/retard/Kook, rather quickly. At least that is what I've seen in my limited dealings and limited amount of time i've looked at the sub.
let them get mad, if they don't they will go insane even with the medication.
I agree with you about leaving the virtual for the physical. but alas some traps are designed to trap them until something can be done about them.
I do think that the only ban that should be enacted is to protect free speech by banning those mods that must censor someone that posts something that is not consistent with their rules some where else. I mean someone can believe in and carry on a conversation about ET's and still have a conversation about the science behind Fukushima or the news about climate change or even discussions about if there is or is not a god.
What led to it? Was it a preemptive move to your (perhaps) impending removal? This is /r/conspiracy after all, and we all know how the simplest official reasons are treated here.
I'm glad, that you're glad, to see me go.

So the sub failing isn't all that you want, but a part of it?
Funny how we word things sometimes.

But your friends at conspiratard aren't happy with simply disagreeing.
It just won't happen. Everyone will see that now.

That is your opinion.
Saying it doesn't make it the gospel.

You were a good mod, very sad to see you go.
The power stricture here wins when the good guys stand down; as much as you disdain the metasphere I implore you to fight for it.
To do otherwise is to let Alexis and Erik win. They cannot win.
2 lordthat100188 2013-11-29
Who are these Alexis and Erik people?
-4 Flytape 2013-11-29
They can win at the Internet.
I'm okay with that. I'll win where it counts. My company makes a profit.

Please don't link to that other subreddit here.

Sorry to see you step down. Still going to post here?

I was hoping that people could share their opinions without getting mad when/if no one agreed.

I will be on your sub, have subscribed already.

This community isn't about popular mainstream ideas so the admins don't care if it gets brigaded.

Is this a voluntary step down?

Absolutely voluntary. 100%.

I tried to fix the community.
For my efforts I have been labeled a shill, a Jew, a white supremacist, and many other contradictory things.
I'm just over it.
